Untitled Dark Poem #9

Who came for whom?

You for me?

Or I for you?

Deadly dance

two sociopaths

two psychopaths

okay

two who share the same disorder

anti-social

I view the world skewed on rabid empathy

You view the world demented and raging

I want to terminate the lethally deranged

the abusers

the maulers

the destroyers of innocents

You want to obliterate the children

corrupt

turn to blackness

rout out the decency

filing the evil into a blade

pointed with deadly intent.

I am careful

cautious

taking only after careful consideration;

You are impulsive

brash

snatch and grab

as the desire takes hold

dreams turning to reality

split second-

Fight to the death

we shall find ourselves in

Angel of Hell

vs

Demon of Heaven

May the best of us win.

Life’s Last Call

Caught between pages

pressed

times forgotten

brittle petals

subtle scent

memories come slipping back

melancholy smile upon thin lips.

Remembering music

floating in the air

dancing couples

embracing in warm summer air.

Held close

musky scent

never forgotten

even after he left.

Caress the fading color

tears trickling down weathered cheeks

wondering

how time had flown so

when only yesterday

my hair flowed

my figure

neat and trim

everyone loved me

just not him.

Deep breath in

smelling lilac

tender smile

eyes close

deep sigh released

now is the time;

I will go.
